I Have a Secret

I have a secret about the Navy Cottage. It's NOT navy! Ha!

I'll share pictures once the deal is final, but I can assure you it is a very ugly brown color. There are some other issues with it (well, pretty decent issues which we'll be addressing as soon as we take possession but there will be lots more on all that here I promise you!) that could result in a residing at some point. Needless to say I have my eyes on a very navy cottage. Think navy cement board shingles with a gray metal roof....

Obviously the focus would be lakeside, so their wouldn't be a main door there, but we hope to eventually add sliders (currently the only way into the house is on the side). There is also currently a brand-new deck built onto the front of the house lakeside, but a fence wraps all the way around it, so you can't even step off the deck down to the water. Another thing we hope to remedy. But painting the fence white would tie this all in well. I'd probably choose to stain the deck a weathered gray look.

While I love the wooden door, it is a lake cottage and I adore the idea of a fun pop of color on the main door as well.
